    Tags on towels?

    This has probably been answered many times but why do most car towels have tags if they scratch? Even the ones sold here do as well. Is the scratching thing a myth ?

    Guessing here, but it must be cheaper to use sew in tags. higher quality towels tend to have adhesive tags that come right off. If the question is why do they have any tags at all, don't know. Probably has something to do with import regulations and such.

    I don't like tags on my mf towels, I use cuticle scissors and carefully cut them off...

    lower end towels seem to have sewn in tags. I mainly use those for interior, so I just cut them close to the hem and don't worry about it. Better/higher gsm towels for paint typically have adhesive tags that peel right off.

    -I've always been very surprised when I find some vendors
    selling microfiber towels with manufacturers' tags sewn-in.

    -We know, that they know:
    that's a BIG NO NO!!!...in the Detailing World.

    The Detailing World accounts for a tiny portion of total MF towel sales

    If there are towels that are obviously Detailing specific with sewn in tags, that is poor coordination with the folks in Korea & China
